About North America


Narrated by Tom Selleck and featuring Bon Jovi's `Army of One' as its theme song, the sweeping seven-part documentary `North America' captures a land where life collides with hostile, untamed wilderness in one of the most diverse, deadly environments on Earth. The series, which took more than three years to produce, includes stories of animals struggling to survive unforgiving weather and rugged terrain, from the frigid Yukon Territory and the lush forests of Belize, to the snow-capped Rocky Mountains and the barren deserts of the American Southwest. A `making of' episode chronicles the challenges faced by the production team, including Hurricane Irene and other natural disasters. … MORE

Nov 14,2023 3:01 am

Prince Harry and Meghan has announced to use the title of your HRH and receive no public funds for The Royal duties, Buckingham Palace .

The couple is not officially The Queen represent.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex intend to back £2 to pay. 4m of taxpayers ' money for the refurbishment of Frogmore cottage, the stay, your UK-family home, the added statement.

The new agreement will enter into force in the spring of this year, said The Palace .

The Statement comes after The Queen held talks with the couple on Monday they wanted to about their future according to their announcement, and share their time between the UK and Canada.

The Queen said, after "many months of talks and discussions of the recent time", she was pleased "that we did together, a constructive and supportive way to the front for my grandson and His Family ".

"Harry, Meghan, and Archie always much beloved members of My Family ," The Statement continued.

she thanked them for their "dedicated work", and added that she was "particularly proud of the way Meghan has quickly become One of The Family . "

On Sunday, The Queen has made her first public appearance since The Announcement of the arrival in the Church with The Duke of York .

The Queen smiled as she The Virgin Church in Norfolk

In a separate statement, Buckingham Palace was greeted at St. Mary's, said: "The Sussexes will not use their HRH title, because they are working members of the Royal Family . "

His Royal Highness, an abbreviation for His /Her Royal Highness, is used as a part of the title, some of the members of the Royal Family .

the BBC's royal correspondent Daniela Relph said BBC Radio 5 Live: "When you issued the first time The Statement about what they wanted, they talked about the construction of this progressive role within the Royal Family , a step back from Royal duties. This is not a step, it away completely. "

She Said , the question of "hang over" for the next years is what will make your commercial Life . "This is a test for the integrity of Harry and Meghan," She Said .

as well as the repayment of the costs for the modernization of Frogmore Cottage, the couple will pay a "commercial rent" for the property.

Buckingham Palace said The Duke and Duchess understood they were needed, from The Royal duties, including the official military appointments.

"While you can do not more formally, The Queen , the Sussexes have made it clear that everything you do will continue to be the common values of Her Majesty ," it said.

The Statement added that the couple would continue to maintain their private sponsorships and associations.

The Rugby Football League said it was "thrilled" to continue to The Duke as a patron, praised His "honest commitment".

Map Ives, director and founder of Rhino Conservation Botswana, said he had already been told by an official in Harry's office, that The Duke "wants to" continue His patronage of the organization.

"If something is said our relationship should be stronger," Mr Ives.

It was a lot of speculation about who is to provide security arrangements for the bride and groom and how much it will cost, but The Palace said it would not comment on such things.

Prince Harry set to host the Rugby League World Cup draw at Buckingham Palace on Thursday

Harry and Meghan's new site, Sussex Royal. com, has been updated after The Queen 's statement to say: "information about the role and work of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex is updated on this website from time to time. "

Earlier this month, Harry and Meghan said she wanted a "progressive" new role" within the institution, where they would be financially independent and split their time between the UK and North America

Last year, she spoke about the difficulties of Royal Life and to the attention of the media.

The Duke said, he feared that His wife would fall victim to it.

A lawsuit against the Mail on Sunday for publishing what The Duchess said was a private letter, has also increased the views.

In the comments for an upcoming Channel 5 documentary, Thomas Markle accused the pair of "cheapening" the Royal Family and "a bit shabby".

"Every young girl wants to be a Princess and got her, and now she 's you throw in the way," he said. "It looks like they throw in the way, for the money. "

'to think Harder, a much cleaner break'

you will always be, The Queen writes, "a lot of members of My Family , beloved."

But that's about it. No Royal title, no Royal duties, no military appointments, no trips, most of the time he spent in Canada, no public money.

It is difficult to think, to break a lot cleaner than this. Harry and Meghan are still members of the Royal Family , but they are effectively royal.

The morning of the speech was the Life of a much more mixed One , where, perhaps, Harry and Meghan shares more with some of The Royal duties, their time evenly between the United Kingdom and Canada.

But the contradictions and conflicts of interest were too many of them.

There are to work out many details.

And the whole thing will be reviewed after a year.

But a new Life on Harry and Meghan celebrities, certainly, but a different kind of license fees.

', A workable situation'

Some questions about the couple of The Future status remain unanswered, what your tax and immigration status in the UK and Canada.

It is not yet known if Meghan still intends to have The British citizenship, which would mean you spend a certain amount of time in the UK.

While the couple intend to share their time between the UK and Canada, it is expected that you spend most of your time in Canada.

the Former press Secretary to The Queen , Dickie Arbiter , said the new arrangement brings with it a crisis for the Royal Family to an acceptable degree.

"It's a win-win situation. It is The Best kind of deal, coming in, without totally sad The Apple Cart - even though Harry and Megan did a pretty good job with their bomb announcement," he said.

"It's a workable situation, and it is a situation that will be further reviewed after a year, the type indicates that the door ajar, perhaps, only to the left. "

Plan for The Future ?

But Katie Nicholl, Vanity Fair , royal correspondent, said Harry, and Meghan stepping away from Royal duties was a loss for the institution.

"have won The Sussexes because they have what you want, and that is the independence of the Royal Family . I think the lost Royal Family . Harry and Meghan brought a very magical and unique brand of the Royal Family ," She Said .

She Said that the agreement could also pave the way for the younger royals, however.

"Prince Charles wants a slimmed down monarchy. Maybe this is All In line, how the monarchy sees itself moving forward. If it works, if it is seen as a success, I think it could be said a blueprint for Future Generations ," She Said .

A question that has yet to be solved the question of their safety is bill, if you are in Canada, said David Mcclure , an expert on The Royal finances.

He told Bbc Breakfast that the whole of The Royal security bill was estimated at More Than £100m per year, and that a Canadian security company believed that it would cost about protect £7m a year, Harry and Megan, if you are from the United Kingdom.

"The Canadians are not interested about picking up the tab, so I'm sure it's pretty heated discussions between the Canadian government and The British government, who pays for it," he said.

If you plan to "maximize opportunities", the Sussexes may come Under Pressure to contribute to the cost, Mr. McClure added.
